A common question is ” Why does my Purple Flowering Broccoli not have
any Broccoli heads.” The answer is that there are two sorts of broccoli:
* Sprouting – white or purple sprouting broccoli
spear-of-purple-sprouting-broccoli
* Calabrese – a green sprouting broccoli which may have a single,
large head.
The sprouting broccoli produces heads just after Christmas, but
calabrese produces a crop in early autumn.

Hi Charity
Good things come to those who wait!
Purple sprouting broccoli will be ready from January to April.
Calabrese, the green sprouting broccoli common in the shops,
produces spears before the onset of winter.
I think you may have the purple sprouting, which is so special
because it is ready when there is not much else in the garden. On
top of that the flavour is divine!
Hope that helps

The answer to the question ” Why Purple Flowering Broccoli does not have
Broccoli” is that it will have broccoli after Christmas!
